Here you go. Just wanted to say, "I love my reviewers!" Even the anonymous reviewers...

Fleets of government tanks and trucks surrounded the junkyard. It looked like hundreds of men were encamped around Jasper and Emmett's Scraps. Long lines of luminous yellow signs that read, "CAUTION," were carefully lined around the perimeter. The soldiers lined up as well when two slouched figures emerged from the junkyard.

"Hey, hey.. What's this all about?" Emmett cracked his knuckles, while throwing out an intimidating look at the soldiers.

"Don't move!" A roaring voice commanded. The authority in his voice demanded obedience from every hearer. Billy Black, dressed in a black and white military suit, portrayed being heavyset, having a wrinkled face and russet-colored skin. His black hair made his eyes look menacing - even more scary than Jacob Black's. In his hand was a megaphone. His posture was firm, composed.

In his other hand was a piece of paper. He stood up and lifted it, showing it off to Emmett and Jasper. It was a manifesto, saying that upon seeing proof that the alien existed and that they are guilty of collaboration with a US enemy, Jasper, Emmett, Bella, and any other suspects, were to be sentenced to 20 years of prison and community service.

Billy Black lifted his left hand, and with a forward gesture, his troops entered the junkyard, gliding past Jasper and Emmett.

They searched under and over the piles of junk - metals, plastics, rubbers, etc. It was a wasted effort for Jacob Black. He was impatient, for he knew where the alien would most probably be. He marched towards the house at the center of all the junk. It was big, but only made out of metal as well. Jacob kicked the door down, ordering the men near him to secure the house.

The interior of the house was pretty big, nothing that you could imagine just by looking at it from the outside. Inside were more junk carefully stuck together, garnished, and labeled. Emmett and Jasper prefered to call them junk art and so they call themselves 'the junk artists'. (Emmett's idea)

But among the numerous junk art stood out something that you can never classify as junk art. It was a statue of Adonis. No, it was like Adonis himself that stood there. But somehow, he was dressed like Achilles' statue - with a bow and arrow, wooden plates that clad his chest, and a metal-pleated skirt. He was even poised like Achilles. His skin sent thousands of rainbows around him. His golden eyes locked on the ceiling and his face was hard as ever.

Them men were surrounding the statue. At first, all of them were dumbfounded and awestuck by how perfect iit/i was. Jacib was the first to compose himself, searching again for the foreign being that he'd seen on the blurry satellite images.

Billy Black, along with Emmett and Jasper, entered the room. His frantic eyes searching for something he didn't know, stopping momentarily on the statue at the far end of the room.

Jacob Black went back to the statue. His eyes narrowing over the aptly labeled "Iron Man" art. Ever so carefully, he poked the statue again and again, confused by how real it seemed for a statue.

"Oh, you wanna buy that? We already have a buyer for that. But if you can offer a higher price, that can be arranged…" Jasper said while joining Jacob Black by the "Iron Man".

Billy Black's face was nothing like his son's confused look. His eyes were bright with fury. "Where is it, Jacob?" His voice was very low, claiming everyone to fear him just by hearing him. Jacob just shrugged as he slightly shook his head.

More fury. Billy's position as general required his ability to control himself. But his disappointment in his own son was pushing him to the edge. He gritted his teeth, "Jacob Black! Outside. NOW!"

A few soldiers stayed to guard Emmett and Jasper, while the others were ordered to prepare for their departure.

Outside the house, Billy Black was all but patient to his son. He shouted at him, unintelligibly mouthing words, while Jacob just threw his gun to aside in frustration. His son's unprofessional acts were rubbing off on him, "You'll be Chief Inspector of Subway toilets by the time I'm done with you!"

Billy Black and his army left, dragging Jacob Black to sit by the rear truck, not even bothering to explain to Emmett and Jasper and seeing their victorious faces as they were joined by two more figures.

"Nice going, guys!" A female voice ended the silence. There were four of them now, standing by the entrance.

Jasper raised his eyebrow, smiling slyly, "If we don't stand up for the kooks, who will?"

The blonde girl shrugged as she shook her head, "Seriously, Bella. I could've died of all the shock you've squeezed into my head this morning."

Someone shook with laughter, then a booming sound erupted out of nowhere again. Wait, out of Emmett's chest, that is. "Yeah, me too. I was shocked to know you came from a line of beauties, Bella." Rosalie blushed a slight pink, while Bella slapped Emmett at the back,

"Yeah, such a shock. You could never know I was actually blood-related to people as stunningly beautiful as –,"

Bella's breath left her when a pair of cold, strong hands slithered around her waist, pulling her tightly against a firm chest, "No. Not shocked at all."

She didn't need to turn around and blush, knowing the sweet velvety voice from anywhere. Instead, she just looked down and blushed.

Another moment of silence passed.

Emmett cleared his throat, "I didn't mean that, Bella."

Rosalie laughed, her soft giggles brought a smile to Emmett's face, "So, Bella… You said earlier about Edward…"

"Bella! Where do you think you're going? Didn't you hear me searching for you last night? I bet the whole city heard me! Where were you? Alaska? GOD! I didn't come here to have some eye bags! Look at my hair! I didn't sleep, eat, but most importantly, I didn't get to wash my hair! I was too busy looking for you! Who knew you slept in the attic?! And you do all of these while mom is gone, why? And don't even get me started on the ramen messing up the floor. Do you think I'll –,"

Rose's early morning rant was cut-off. Tears were welling out of Bella's eyes. Just the look on her face said that she didn't get to sleep as well.

"I'm so sorry, Rose. I… just.. I –,"

Anger that was burning in Rose's chest instantly disappeared. Her sister was crying her eyes out. Will she just shout at her, making it worse?

"No, Bella. Sshh… Don't cry." Rose patted her back, it was the most she could do for now, "Just tell me all about it…"

"Rose, you've got to help us! Edward! He's in danger!"

"Sure, sure. I'll help –," Rose's eyes widened in confusion, "Wait. Who? Us?"

Bella straightened herself. She took a deep breath, readying herself for a long due explanation, "Edward. You see it all started a few weeks ago…"

Rose wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at Bella, "You never mentioned about this," she said, pointing at the arms wrapped around Bella.

Bella's blushed deepened to a crimson red as she struggled against Edward's firm hands. He let go of her in confusion. "Uhm.. We've grown attached?" Bella smiled sheepishly, only to feel Edward's comforting hands twined with hers, making her blush some more.

Rose shook her head aggressively, "Hold up! Wait a minute, you've become friends with a.. Like, an alien?" Her eyes were wide with sheer disbelief. "I don't believe it – not that become close friends, but what I don't believe is… Edward…? He's…?" Rose was struggling really hard for words, so she just asked the most intriguing question, "Is he really an alien?"

Jasper and Emmett nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Bella. We've been with Edward here for weeks, and I still don't believe his some kind of an alien. He could pass as a human, you know." Emmett said while scratching his head.

"He's not really an alien, I think. I, myself, don't know what on earth is a Extragalactic Devonian Ward is." Bella's grip on Edward's hand tightened. "So we can't call Ripley's Believe It Or Not, because they… wouldn't believe it."

At that, the four of them laughed incessantly.

The day passed by quickly. Rosalie spent most of the day with Emmett. Jasper was back inside their house, fixing their place.

Rose just made the artworks they showed the military earlier in random that Emmett and Jasper were amazed. She made a couple more "random artworks" that Emmett was staring with his mouth open in awe.

Bella and Edward were off to the woods again, playing along the edges of Salt River.

"Stop it! Haha.. Edward!" Bella was lying flat on the ground. Edward smiled crookedly as he hung over Bella's small frame, looking like a cub, possessive about his prey.

She struggled under Edward's body, which placed no weight on her. His smile just broadened as he saw Bella wriggling between his hands.

"I'll give you a thirty second head start for Round 2." His voice was menacingly playful. He stood up, pulling Bella up with him, before crouching down in a stealthy launch position.

"30… 29… 28… 27…"

Bella ran back the junkyard, half shrieking at Edward to stop, and half laughing at his animal-like position.

Rosalie, and Emmett stared at them play cat and mouse, seeming to enjoy the game just by observing.

Bella hid behind some pile of scrap metals but Edward knew where she was so she ran near the metal compactor, unfortunately, tripping along the way. Edward approached her carefully, looking smug that he'll claim his second win already.

Bella crawled around the metal compactor, looking for a stick, a rod, anything to prolong Edward's supposed-to-be catch. Instead, she found a big-looking gun. It was the gun Jacob Black threw to the sides. It was unloaded, harmless, so Bella decided to have some fun with Edward. Hey, this will make things even. Haha. She grabbed it and went out to face Edward.

"Ha! Stay back!" Bella mockingly pointed the gun at Edward. He froze his approach, about ten feet away from her. "That's right. You aren't going to get your –,"

Bella's eyes widened with confusion, then fear as she stared at Edward's changing form.

Edward's crouch didn't have any hint of play anymore. He looked more like a bloodthirsty lion rather than a possessive cub now. His lips folded back, showing his dazzling sharp teeth. A growl emerged from his chest, echoing throughout the whole junkyard. But the most menacing change in his form was his eyes – it changed abruptly from gold, into onyx, and finally into a bloody red.

Bella's mouth hung open as she dropped the gun from her hands. She couldn't move. Her mind shouted at her feet to run for her life but her body didn't respond. It was like her feet already died of fear.

Mere seconds passed and Edward was now about to launch at her. The two sitting figures were now running towards Bella. Her mind was frantic. Could they make it in time?

Edward's snarl demanded Bella's attention. As she turned her head to look at Edward, Edward launched his body, his form already in mid-air when Rosalie's high-pitched wail rang in their ears,

"Edward! NO!"

A/N: The long awaited update… Sorry, with school on the horizon, things might be getting out of hand… But this was not the main reason for my very late update. You see, my mind gets invaded again and again these past few days. Ideas about a Post BD story just hits me like a bullet that I forget all my other ideas about this one…

Well, if you love me, send some love this way! If you don't love me, send some hatred this way! I'm happy to answer bashing reviews. Either way, review!

Final words. QUESTION: What do you think about me writing this story with someone's POV? And not just my narration?
